Here is a pic of my friend who just won a few local comps. He is 6'2" and 203lb and right about 4% bf in these shots. This is the sort of standard I am accustomed to seeing around here. I still don't get where the paradigm of being 5'6" and 220lb is coming from. As near as I can tell you guys are talking about 220lb with all your fat. Not leaned down to 4% for a show.



You can have rolls of fat at a low bf percentage, you just have to bend forward. He's probably at 12% ish.

I don't think most of us are talking about contest condition, but 8-10% lean, however people are probably thinking of different numbers, so thats why we brought up LBM.

Repost the pics please, you need to be a forum member to access them I think.
